Epic of Gilgamesh-Reading Blog Tablets I-III

The first three tablets of the Epic of Gilgamesh set up a scenario of adventure, risk, and courage. Two men (Enkidu and Gilgamesh) set off into an unknown forest where they will risk their lives to find and fight Huwawa in the Cedar forest. This part of the book reminds me to the movie and book of The Hunger Games. When Katniss volunteers as a tribute to participate in the annual Hunger Games, reminds me of when everyone starts telling Gilgamesh that Enkidu should go first. In both situations, Katniss and Enkidu are being put into a deathly adventure. Also, the simple fact that these two brave men are going into an adventure with someone else they depend on, connects these two creations of art. Therefore, I become anxious of what will happen, where will they go, and if they will accomplish their mission as I did while I watched Hunger Games in the movies. I can also infer that the rest of the book will be about the adventures in the Cedar Forest as it did with the competition of the kids from different districts. I know that in The Hunger Games both Katniss and Peeta survived, but will these two kill Huwawa and be prideful forever? Let us continue reading and figure out!
